Vegetable Minestrone with Parsley Pistou is a flavorful and healthy soup that's perfect for a cozy dinner at home. Made with creamy white beans, fresh herbs and loads of healthy green vegetables, this soup is gluten free and vegan adaptable!
Ladle the minestrone into bowls and serve with parsley pistou on the side along with grated parmesan and crusty bread.
*For a vegan / vegetarian version, you can leave out the pancetta and the parmesan cheese rind. Just add a little more salt and olive oil to make up for it.
If you'd like to add pasta, cook it separately in boiling, salted water, then drain and keep on the side to add to individual bowls. If you add the pasta to the pot of hot soup, it will absorb all of the broth and turn mushy.
This recipe is very flexible and adaptable. Throw in some leftover shredded chicken, the rice from last night's Chinese takeout, a diced sweet potato that's starting to sprout, or anything else about to go bad in your fridge.
